Anime has been on the rise ever since the pandemic forced people to isolate in their homes. Anime is an abbreviation of animation in Japan. People use that term to describe any animation produced from Japan.
Though it was originally from Japan, anime has exploded in popularity. It was stated by the Wall Street Journal that overseas sales by japanese companies that focuses on animation and licensing characters for other goods generated nearly 10 billion in 2018 and accounted for half of the total industries revenue1. Another example of the exploding popularity of anime The “Demon Slayer:Mugen Train” made $19.5 million dollars which broke American box-office records for a foreign language2. Making anime a big deal to the western side of the of the world.
